We can try to make something like this indeed. I'll give it a try.

It means that it cannot change after buildbot configuration. It is stored
in the db as a json description of the forcescheduler configuration, so
there is not python object or callback that can be used

What you can do is to generate the list of choice during the configuration
in your master.cfg.
And you can add a external cronjob that does buildbot reconfig every now
and then.
